The Resource Curse in the Context of Socialism of the 21st Century
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 1,33, Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH, language: English, abstract: Ecuador and Venezuela, two Latin American OPEC member states, experienced a socioeconomic upheaval with the windfall petroleum revenues beginning in the 1970s. The oil bonanzas, however, negatively affected the development in the two countries, which show minimal economic growth and political instability throughout the last thirty years. The paradoxical phenomenon can be explained with the resource curse theory. This paper starts with determining the extent of the resource curse and its forms of appearance in both countries. In a se...
Islamic Finance and the New Financial System
Can Islamic finance save the global system? Islamic Finance and the New Financial System describes how the adoption of Islamic finance principles in future regulatory decisions could help prevent future shocks in the global financial system. Using illustrations and examples to highlight key points in recent history, this book discusses the causes of financial crises, why they are becoming more frequent and increasingly severe, and how the new financial system will incorporate elements of Islamic finance – whether deliberately or not. With an introspective look at the system and an examination of the misconceptions and deficiencies in theory vs. practice, readers will learn why Islamic fina...
Fratelli d'Italia
Segreta come una setta, legata a misteriosi e antichissimi rituali, chiusa attorno al ristretto circolo dei suoi adepti, eppure potentissima, influente, organizzata, protagonista di clamorosi crack finanziari, morti misteriose e collusioni col mondo della politica e del grande capitale italiano, la massoneria è uno dei fenomeni più controversi e complessi del nostro tempo. Attraverso interviste esclusive, documenti inediti, atti giudiziari, approfondimenti e testimonianze, Ferruccio Pinotti apre per la prima volta uno squarcio sulla realtà delle logge massoniche in Italia. Un potere forte e, a dispetto delle apparenze, in rapida espansione, che riceve un numero sempre crescente di richieste di affiliazione. Dal network dei primi Fratelli d'Italia (a cui appartenne anche Goffredo Mameli) fino alle più recenti inchieste della magistratura, un'indagine senza sconti sulla massoneria e sulle sue implicazioni.
The Different Meanings of Governance
Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - Basics and General, grade: 1,00, Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH, language: English, abstract: Governance is more than an extensively used buzzword of social science literature over the last 20 years. Even though its manifestations have actually existed since the origin of human social thinking, it was not until recently that the concept was adopted, based on an understanding of the genuine realm of governance, encompassing the various facets of its existence. Consequently, work on governance reflects the interest of the social science community in a shifting pattern of governing styles (Stoker 1998). It is this vast array of phenomen...
Assessing Mass Beliefs and Level of Democracy in Norway
Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Politics - Region: Western Europe, grade: 1,33, Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH, language: English, abstract: In this essay the mass beliefs and attitudes of the Norwegian society will be portrayed and compared to the “democratic character” of people defined by political scientists. Beforehand, a short description of the degree of democracy measured by the Freedom House serves as an objective insight into the conditions of the country. Lasswell (1951) developed several indicators which signalize a “democratic character”, such as an open ego, a multi-valued character, confidence in human potentialities and, above all, freedom from anxiety. According to Almond and Verba (1963), psychological orientations towards the political system have a crucial impact in terms of stability of the state and its political objects. Postmaterialist and self-expression values represent additional criteria for a democratically mature society. All those will be taken briefly into consideration in order to examine the main question that is tackled here: How “democratically compatible” is the population of Norway?
